If you don't stock the poo poo get it off your website for the love of god.

They’re all drop shippers and all use the same source, who doesn’t update their inventory. A lot of the “cheap<insertcarmakename>parts.com” sites do that. They even have the exact same interface for finding the parts, save for the logo. Ticks me off.

We're supposed to freehand it, but the instructor never really watches us unless we specifically ask for help, so I can try using a little guide or something

Practice by using a guide but pay conscious attention to the feelings in your arm/shoulder/wrist. Try to learn how straight feels and then try to replicate it free hand. Using larger muscles (e.g. full arm rather than wrist and fingers) can be easier, but it obviously depends on the size of the work piece.

Tanabe's aren't listed on their own site so I'm guessing discontinued. Same with eibach who at one point made sportlines. ST/KW makes a set of springs but they don't seem to have any. What does seem to be available are Tein S-techs, H-techs, street advance z, and flex z coilovers. Plus BC racing so I assume a bunch of other cheap/ebay brands that are the same thing. What about the trd springs?

I'd wager most of them have been relying on drop shipping from the manufacturer and not updating when they went out of production.

Yeah probably gonna be TRD if I can't find the Tanabe springs anywhere. Tanabe seems to be the most liked because they lower and level out the car which has a bit of rake to it and the ride is similar to stock. Apparently the TRD springs still leave a rake in the stance but oh well I guess.

To get the correct torque on the flywheel bolt of my landcruiser engine I wound up manufacturing an extension for my 200ft.lb torque wrench. I had to use an 1100mm long torque wrench to get that thing to spec- its torqued to nearly 400ft.lb!

kastein posted:

Huh, never even considered that one.

Funny question since I can't find you on Facebook - say you're looking to buy equipment, and the options are:
400vac 3ph Delta, but needs an external floor or wall mount transformer
400vac 3ph wye
230vac 1ph

Voltamp rating is the same all 3 ways.

I've got no idea how prevalent 3 phase wye service is overseas - it's common here. Trying to design a Euro power option for a machine at work and can't get a straight answer as to which of these options would have the biggest market share.

Most European countries use 3⌀ wye-connected transformers, and feed small residences with 1⌀ + neutral, and then give commercial businesses or industrial shops all 3⌀ plus the neutral to run large induction motors, and any bog-standard 1⌀ 240V loads, very large manufacturing facilities will likely get a dedicated 480V ungrounded delta supply just for motors.

If you ship with a 3⌀+n required, then the customer can simply add whatever transformer or phase conversion necessary to supply the machine, if you take your 240V supply off a ⌀-⌀ xfrmr you provide the most flexibility to the customer, as they can use delta or wye service.

I would absolutely not go with a straight 240 volt machine, as it sounds like it has a high kVA draw, and will turbo-gently caress their load balancing if they're using 3⌀ wye, especially if it is particularly capacitive or inductive.

E: the exception to the above is the UK, where they like to go their own hosed up way and supply residences with 240V single phase, but industrial applications should still be 400V wye.

E2: I haven't been an electrician in a decade or so, but when I was this forum was knowledgeable, and well moderated with global membership, they might be able to answer your questions in near-autistic depth https://www.electrical-contractor.net/forums/ubbthreads.php

E3: I found this browsing around the site: https://www.worldstandards.eu/three-phase-electric-power/ 4 wire would be grounded wye, 3 wire ungrounded delta, afaik only the US and Canada use grounded "wild leg" delta systems

So I am a newbie NAS user and came across something I can't quite wrap my head around. And forgive me if I am not using the right terminology here.

I have a Netgear ReadyNAS RN2120 and I am trying to consolidate all of our personal back up files, photos, videos, etc from the past 15-20 years on it. On this NAS I have 4x8TB drives in RAID 5.

The NAS is set up as 1 big volume but with various folders, and I have access to the "main folders" on all of our PCs for easy copy/pasting of our files.

The issue I have is I am getting "not enough space" error messages when trying to consolidate the contents of large folders together, but yet it's no problem when I make a "new" folder on the NAS, it copies just fine.

For example, I was trying to copy a folder on my local PC that's, say, 8GB folder into an NAS folder but get the error message. However, if I copy the folder over on its own (not into an existing folder) on the NAS it copies fine.

Ideas what I'm doing wrong? I have TONS of free space on the NAS.

I'll start with the obvious (don't mean this to be insulting - the basics are the first things I check in diagnostics) - are the 4x8 TB drives the same brand/speed? I've had issues mixing WD and Seagate drives in RAID arrays. Also, were these clean drives? What do the partitions look like?

First guess would be quotas per folder is set to something tiny. Second guess: Firmware bug. See if there's a newer version. Also, how much free space is actually left?

No offense taken! I'm a total newbie and idiot with these.

Oh yeah, the NAS sees them just fine. Brand new drives. It's set up as 1 big partition @ 22TB, just a couple of folders/directories on the top (which are mapped as network locations) with various subolders in those.

Yeah, quotas was where I was going next too. For giggles, what file system is the NAS using? I'm guessing SMB, which is going to make me believe there's a firmware cap on the file size. If it's not SMB, report back.

Soiled Meat
There are interesting issues with SMB file length especially if it's going to a non-Windows system. Even enterprise NAS OSes can have issues with it. There can also be issues with volume size, but I wouldn't expect that on a modern release of Ext4 or similar.

Do you know what file system the ReadyNAS uses? I didn't see anything obvious in the specs.

Can you give us an example path?

If you get a packet trace from your system using Wireshark I could take a look for you. The SMB portion isn't my exact expertise (I mostly do storage performance) but I am pretty good at it.

Feb 18, 2011
Those would have to be some incredibly long paths for a home user. Usually the error is specific to the path length. You can always use something like longpathtool to verify if you're curious. I believe the NAS is some form of BTRFS. I would have recommended a Synology

So, here is an example.

I have a folder on a local drive (we'll call it drive G:) called something like "Vids_2006_to_2010" or something like that. Let's say its 100GB in total.

On my NAS, I have it as a single partition with 2 main folders each PC on my LAN has access to via Network Locations. The folders are called "Data_backups" and "pics_vids".

In "Pics_vids" I have that further subdivided, "pics" and the "vids"

The issue I have is trying to copy the *contents* (IE: Just the .AVIs) of "G:/Vids_2006_to_2010" into the NAS folder for "pics_vids/vids" (forgive me if the syntax isn't right, I'm copy/pasting here obviously) I get a "there is not enough space to copy these files" error.

However, if I copy the entire folder (IE: right click/copy the entire folder) "Vids_2006_to_2010" into the NAS on its own, still segregated into its folder, it copies fine.

Does that makes sense? Sorry if I'm not explaining it well... I know enough computer poo poo to be dangerous but not well.

Wrar posted:

It says I have protocols "SMB, NFS"
I'm not sure what that means.

No I do not have snapshots turned on.

Appreciate you guys trying to help a helpless guy. :)

e: Once the entire directory including the folder was copied over, I was able to copy paste from that folder into the "vids" folder without error.

Weird :/

Not going to worry about this anymore, my bulk transferring is done.

Yes and no. It’s definitely a very much older more mature group this album out- the songs are reflection of that. They’ve done a lot more colab work with other artists, but at the same time they’ve also sampled way less and written a lot more of their own music and it’s really good writing.

The hoods music has always reflected where they are in life- hard road is very much about their struggles in early life and breaking out. The Great Expanse is more about their life now, the success and the downsides of it, being a parent and it touches on the issues of the day- the fight against depression is in there too.

It’s not the raw angry hip hop of The Hard Road, but it’s certainly not a bad album for not being it.
